Ingredients

• 1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp honey
• 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 cups steamed white rice (optional, for serving)
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. Set this sauce mixture aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque.

Step 6

Flip the shrimp and immediately pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir well to coat the shrimp evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the shrimp with scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds (if using).

Step 8

Serve immediately over steamed white rice or your preferred base, if desired.
